Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
That's a bummer - but I bet the next one will be good.
ReplyDeleteI think your cold is no ordinary one, but a super cold. Why? I'm pretty sure I caught it from you clear despite the fact we're not even in the same state.
Sorry the cold messed up your mojo, but then there's always next week, right? :)
ReplyDeleteCold, go AWAY!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't see a loss this week. Do you know what I absolutely LOVE about you though? This happens, and you don't get pissed off (well you do sometimes) but not in way in which you retaliate against the scale and sabotage yourself.
ReplyDeleteMost people can't loose weight because they have a bad week and think "eff it" and go eat like they used to because "Hey, what's the point? I did what I was supposed to do and I still didn't loose so screw it." You just keep on doing what your doing and you keep looking and feeling more and more amazing.
You've turned that "switch" in your brain. It's like you've conquered that awful demon most of us have that keeps is from getting back on track.
I've been following you here and on spark for 2 years now. Although I tend to lurk and not always comment, I've not missed a post. I think about you and your success (and struggles) all the time.
The good news for me is that while I'm still struggling, I've managed to take off 15 pounds since August. For me, it kind of happened when I started student teaching and was forced to eat on a schedule. When that ended, I noticed I wasn't so consumed with food/eating and it was easier to say no. I often think about your journey, and that I need to make this a lifestyle and not a diet. So that is what I've been focusing on - making my eating (and exercising) more of a lifestyle change and not a diet - because that clearly has never helped me before.
So, thank you darlin'! Hope you are doing great and I loved that pic of you in last year's coat. You are at the point where 40 pounds sure means a lot more than it used to. You look absolutely amazing! Thanks for putting it all out there and sharing with us. It means a lot to me, and for countless others who struggle I am sure. Have an amazing week!
